With views of the glittering Aegean Sea, blooms of magenta bougainvillaea and Santorini’s iconic blue domes, this villa occupies one of the best spots on the island. Inside, it’s pared-back, stylish and a little bit luxurious – we loved the bathtub made from volcanic rock and we couldn’t get enough of the premium mattresses. There’s more grounded grandeur outside: an infinity plunge pool with built-in Jacuzzi feature and a balcony that makes for a perfect sunset watching spot.

When you’re feeling peckish, put together Greek-inspired dishes in the fully-equipped kitchen or why not call upon the help of a private chef to take care of the cooking. After a good feasting, slip on your sandals and explore your surroundings. The heart of Imerovigli village, home to sleek bars and swanky restaurants is a two-minute walk away. If you’d prefer to expend a little more energy, set off on the Skaros Rock and Ekklisia Theoskepasti hiking trail, less than ten minutes from your doorstep.
